Comment 94 for bug 201887

The first thing I do on a keyboard with a numeric pad, is to enable the numeric functionality. I always thought that having it act as a directional pad by default is counter intuitive. I mean, I expect the fraction of people who use it as a directional pad to be very small compared to the number of people who use it as a number pad.

So personally, I would prefer if the default was switched to a number pad on all keyboards (isn't that the default behaviour on OSX and Windows anyway?!)

However, I'm leaning toward the argument that there should be no special treatment for the apple keyboard, though I'm on the fence on this one :)
